They KNOW BETTER! Kimberley Strassel just absolutely lays INTO the media for clutching their pearls over the word 'spying'

It’s not just Democrats who are OUTRAGED that Barr used the ‘s-word,’ (you know, spying). Nope. The media are doing their part to feed the outrage because HOW DARE Barr use such inflammatory language and blah blah blah and yadda yadda yadda.

Admit it, when you read traditional media it sounds EXACTLY like that.

And c’mon, if there was a possibility that the Trump administration had spied on Hillary you can bet your sweet bippy the media would be yelling that as loudly as they could everywhere. It’s all about WHO is being spied on …

Byron York has plenty of examples.

You should look at common usage of the word 'spy.' What Barr said was entirely consistent with it. A few examples from NYT: https://t.co/BbDrkj28nW pic.twitter.com/pY9eaQ8IuJ

From the New York Times no less.

Kimberley Strassel took it HOME.

This is obvious: Everyone in press knows this was "spying" and moreover that they would be using that word if this were govt. surveillance they didn't like. They only reject word now because they are so invested in defending an FBI that went after a prez they dislike. https://t.co/yKgOScZkYW

It IS obvious. Media know that Barr’s usage of the word ‘spying’ was absolutely fine. Per Kimberley’s tweet, they are only outraged because they are super invested in defending the FBI and they hate Trump just that much.

You’d think by now they’d have figured out they are only hurting themselves but we suppose narratives die hard. And they’ve been pushing the same stupid narrative for years now.
